Notes for RICHARD FOSTER:

SOURCES: The Colonial
Virginia Register

A list of Governors,
Councilors and Other Higher Officials, and also of Members of the
House of Burgesses, and the Revolutionary Conventions of the Colony
of Virginia --- Compiled by William Glover and Mary Newton Standard,
published by Joel Munsell's Sons, Publishers, Albany, New York,
1902.

1) Served in Virginia House of
Burgesses, Norfolk County, Assembly of 1655-1656_This Assembly first
met in March 1654-5, and, by adjournments, on March 10, 1655-56, and
December 1st, 1656 (Hening I, 407, 414), His name is listed as
"Captain" Richard Foster.

HISTORY: From this time
on (1635) Richard is spelling his surname as FOSTER. He is
considered the Father of most Foster's in the Southern United States
today (2001). Other Foster's also came to East Coast and started
their lineage in America. Some Foster's went to the northern
Colonies and for the most part their descendents stayed north.
Richard came to Virginia and his descendents are the beginning of
the Southern States Foster's through his son Robert.

However, all Foster's relate
back to Richard of Flanders in 1066 AD who came from Flanders
(northern France) to England.

Richard came to America at the
age of 16. His rank in his father's family in England must not have
been as the first or second son or he would have remained in England
to inherit his father's estate. He was probably a 2nd child and saw
adventure in sailing to America and getting a fresh start. Available
records do not indicate that he came as an indentured servant to
anyone. We do believe his passage was provided by a Bartholomew
Hoskins.

His father (Robert) in England
was living the life of a Knight in the good section of society as
had all his progenitors since the Battle of Hastings in the year
1066 when William the Conqueror took over England. The
brother-in-law of William was named Richard of Flanders. Richard was
the son of Baldwin V. Soon after the battle he became known as
Richard De Foriester. One of Richard Foriester's sons was Sir Hugo
Foirester. He fought with King Henry I, as General of the English
Army. Sir Hugo was Governor of Etherstone by right of inheritance.
After successfully defeating the Norwegian King Magnus in 1101 AD
Sir Hugo Forrester was appointed Chief Lord of the Royal Forest. Sir
Hugo was a person of great eminence during the reign of King
Stephen.

In the Battle of Hastings
Richard of Flanders was only age 16 but was knighted for his
valliant services to William the Conqueror and received large land
holdings in northern England and Scotland (Northumberland County,
Bamborough (Bambough, Bamburgh) in Northumberland; land also known
as Adderston (Henderston). The Forster's lived here for 12
generations in a position of honor as many were Knights to the Kings
of England. Our Richard Forster (Foster) was a descendant of King
Henry I of England.

The descendants of Forster,
Forrester or Foster had privileges, education and opportunities.
And thus the Forster lineage lived for the next 500 years.

HISTORY: James Richard
Forster/ Foster (b. 1619) came to America on 10 August 1635 from
England on the ship "HMS Safety". Recent research has caused most
descendants to now believe though most records call him Richard
Foster some records refer to him as James Foster. Se we now call him
James Richard Foster.

http://www.geocities.com/lunalaniz2000/DescendantsofRichardForster.htm
Says he was granted 250 acres of land in Lynhaven Parish in Lower
Norfolk County, Virginia on November 26, 1653. In Gloucester County,
Virginia he received 200 more acres. He was the first to spell his
last name as Foster.

Information received from Wayne Dunn (HWDUNN@prodigy.net) 29 Oct
1997. Our immigrant Foster's father was Sir Robert Forster, who was
born in 1587 Durham, England. His only son was Richard Forster, born
1619. Forster was changed to Foster upon reaching America, a more
English spelling of the name. The following is an account of Richard
with his journey to the New World. Richard Foster Immigrated to
Virginia in the ship "Safety". The ship sailed from England on the
1st day of August 1635. He was 16 years old when he came to
Virginia. Susan Garnett, who later married Richard Foster, was found
living in Elizabeth Cittie in Virginia on 16th day of February 1623,
with her parents, Thomas and Elizabeth Garnett. In 1624/25 a muster
was taken of the Inhabitants of Virginia. In "Thomas Garnett and his
Muster" show Thomas aged 40 and Immigrated to America in the "Swann"
in 1610. His wife Elizabeth was aged 26 and came to America in the
"Neptune" in 1618. Their daughter Susan was aged 3 and was born in
Virginia. Ambrose Griffith and Joyce Griffith were on the muster
with the Garnett Family. _Ambrose Griffith was aged 33 and came to
Virginia in the "Bona Nova" 1619 and Joyce Griffith aged 20 came in
the "Jacob". Richard Foster settled in Elizabeth Cittie County,
Virginia and married there and was granted 250 acres of land in
Lynhaven Parish in Lower Norfolk Co., Va. on 26 Nov 1653 beginning
at the neck of the broad Creek running South, South West near a
swamp, thense West etc., for transport of Dorcas Foster Senior, and
Dorcas Foster Junior, Richard Foster, Richard Street, and Henry
Williams. Later In 1655 the family removed to Gloucester County,
Virginia where Richard Foster received 200 more acres for transport
of four more persons: Ellen Foster, Mary Foster, Sarah Davis, Robert
Bynum, Fra. Bignall. This land was at the head of Southard Creek on
the Severne, in Mackajack Bay, in Gloucester Co., Va. Robert Coleman
was granted land that adjoined Richard Fosters land on 18 March,
1662. As the nation grew, the Foster descendants migrated south into
the Carolinas, Alabama, Georgia, and finally Texas; as well as East
into Tennessee, and from there, launching themselves to the wind.

Says that Richard Foster was
born in 1619, Essex, Durham, England. That he served in the House of
Burgesses 1655-56. He also stated that he married three times: Susan
(Elizabeth?) Garnett, Abt 1652 in Hampton County, Virginia. Then he
married Anne (Foster), Aft 1652 and married Susannah Garnett,

aft 1653. He
died in 1691, Gloucester, Virginia. "Sailed to America on the Safety
in 1635."

This may be the "missing link"
ancestor to tie our Foster family into the royal lineage of Richard
Foster / Forster (born 1619 in England). My questions remain as to
the "proof" that this Richard Foster is really connected to the
immigrant Richard Foster / Forster.

This reference causes me to
believe a "Richard Foster" was in North Carolina while our Richard
Foster was in Virginia. Foster, Richard 1622?- Dictionary of North
Carolina Biography. Volume 2, D-G. Edited by William S. Powell.

DEATH: The death place may be Abbingdon Parish, Glouchester,
Virginia, USA.

Many excellent mansions,
villas, and other residences, with gardens and terraces, adorn the
surface and the shores, and a rich extensive prospect is enjoyed of

any clues exist to prove the relationship for sure between these two
Richards. (James Richard Foster b. 1619 and Richard Foster b.
1723) Later information shows that this Richard Foster's
passage was paid by Bartholomew Hoskins, ancient planter, and
both him and Richard migrated to Lower Norfolk County, VA where both
became prominent members of
the social and political society. Capt. Ed Dittmer, retired
naval officer, was the first to cast doubts on Richard being the
immigrant and placed James Foster of
Gloucester County as the most likely immigrant. This revelation was
met with little interest by most
researchers since it broke the tie with English royalty. However,
there were several researchers, including
Miriam Wood Dye of Memphis, TN, Gerneva Foster Dennis of Abilene (now Chicago), and myself who
required more than "tradition" to accept the 1635 immigrant as our
immigrant. We offer the
following information for your consideration:

Richard Foster of the 1635 HMS
Safety was transported by Bartholomew Hoskins. We have documentation that Bartholomew
married, in England, Dorcus Foster, widow with two small children. Bartholomew was called father
by Richard. (March 2, 1639/40.)

Conclusion - Richard of the
1635 HMS Safety was the son of Dorcus Foster and an unknown father
and the step-son of Bartholomew
Hoskins. We must assume that it was this Richard Foster who
migrated, with Bartholomew Hoskins, into
Lower Norfolk County, VA.

We do know that Bartholomew
Hoskins and Mrs. Dorcus Foster had children and one was a daughter, Dorcus, who married a Richard
Foster (from Hoskins family history). However, it could not have
been the 1635 Richard Foster as she
was only 5-6 years old when Richard called Bartholomew father and
besides Dorcus was his
half-sister.

Conclusions - There were two
Richard Foster's found in Lower Norfolk. The second Richard Foster could have been the Richard
Foster who came to Virginia in late 1630s or early 1640s and was a
lawyer.

He has been reported as
Richard Worster. He was the Clerk of the Court, etc and signed his
name as "ffoster" which looks like a
"W." Now, both Fosters were literate as indicated by many documents.

There was at least one other
Richard Foster in Lower Norfolk. He was found on Bennetts Creek on March 25, 1653/4 and signed
his name with an"X", i.Ed., he could neither read nor write. So,
this separates him from the above
two. It could be he who married Ann Jackson and fathered a child
before marriage as shown in Lower
Norfolk records.

There was another Richard
Foster (Deed Book B, Lower Norfolk Co., VA, p. 51) at an inquest
concerning the death of Jacob
Bradshaw on April 11,1647. This Richard was also illiterate and
signed his name with a mark "ff." He
could have been the same illiterate Richard Foster (above). However,
his mark was "ff" and not "X."

Conclusion - There were three
and possibly four Richard Fosters in LowerNorfolk who are
potentially our immigrant: (1) Richard Foster
of the Safety, step-son of Bartholomew Hoskins, (2) Richard Foster,
the lawyer, (3) Richard Foster,
who may have married Anne Jackson whose mark was "X" and, (4)
Richard Foster, the Witness, whose
mark was "ff."

Now which, if any, was our
immigrant? One of these Richard Foster's married Dorcus Hoskins and received a land patent in 1651
for the transport of himself, his wife Dorcus, and daughter, Dorcus,
Jr. He probably was Richard Foster,
the Lawyer, as Richard, the Step-son was in England during this time
(more on this later). This
Richard Foster was probably the Richard Foster who was a member of
the House of Burgass and was
called first Lt. and then Capt. and then Major Foster and followed
his father-in-law, Bartholomew Hoskins, and
brother-in-law, Richard Hoskins into North Carolina. We can
eliminate him as our immigrant. Richard
Foster, step-son of Bartholomew, was in England from 1648 to1654. He
could be our immigrant. Then
there are the illiterate Richard Foster's. They are possible
candidates, however, not likely as we must
assume that our immigrant was literate as he came from a knighted
father, Sir Robert Foster.

There
was a Richard Foster who received 200 acres of land in Mackjack Bay
(later called Gloucester

County, VA). This land joined
Col. George Ludlow, who was in the records of Jamestown and Lower
Norfolk Counties. Now, Richard
Foster, step-son of Bartholomew Hoskins was in England until 1654
and the land was patented on
April 1, 1655. Could this have been the Richard Foster who patented
that land? Could this have been
Richard Foster who married Susan Garnett and became our immigrant
ancestor. We have no proof or
even an indication that it is so - the land or the marriage.

So, considering all of these
Richards, the step-son is the most likely, "IF" our ancestor
immigrant was a Richard Foster. If we assume
this, then all the records in Lower Norfolk that deals with Richard
Foster must concern the others. If
this be so, then what was our immigrant doing from1635 to 1655?

Even the doubters disagree
with, is the more likely Richard Foster, our immigrant: (1), (2),
(3), or (4). I (Bill Foster) guess I am the
most deviant of them all, along with Capt. Ed (I cannot speak for
Miriam or Geneva), as we do not believe
that a Richard Foster was our immigrant.

Our candidate is the James
Foster who was living in Kingston Parish, Gloucester (now Matthews) County, VA and was a neighbor
of John Garnett. The Foster's and the Garnett's were closely associated and intermarried
several generations. Robert and John Foster, brothers and assumed
siblings of Richard Foster,
bought land in Essex County in 1692 close to a James Foster.
Although circumstantial, it is
compelling evidence that Robert named his first sons, Robert and
James and not Richard (Richard was his
fourth child, after John). We present this information to you for
your consideration and to elicit
your comments.

Pleas. "Thomas Foster, White Church,
Hampshire, England. Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. Robert
Foster, his brother, Judge of
the King's Bench. Thomas' daughter married Thomas Brooks." "The Fosters were a branch of
the ancient family of Etherstone in Durham County. Thomas and Robert were the grand-sons of
Alexander Conyers, Earl of Bucan, who was descended from Roger de
Quincy, Earl of Winchester, Magna
Charta Baron, and from David 1st, King of Scotland. King David's
father was Malcolm III, who married
Margaret, daughter of Edward, son of Edmund "Ironsides Saxon" King
of England, descended from Alfred
the Great. King David's grand-father Duncan I, was murdered by
Macbeth; and this royal line
goes back without a break to Fergus II, King of Scotland, A.D. 404 -
giving the Fosters a Royal Ancestery.
" This makes the Fosters eligible to the "Order of the Crown".

SOURCES: Virginia
Historical Record, Volume VI, page 390, "Mr. Thomas Foster, Justice
of New Kent County, 1690. Son of the above
Thomas and brother of the first Richard"

Richard Foster (1st) had
Edward, John, and Richard (2nd). Richard (2nd) was the son of John,
who married Abigail, daughter of
the noted Ann Hutchinson of Massachussetts. John's brother Edward's daughter married two Governors
of North Carolina - Sothell and Ludwell.

It has been accepted for years
by most researchers that the immigrant of the Southern Fosters was a
Richard Foster, son of Sir
Robert Foster and Miss Isham, who sailed from London on August 10,
1635 on the ship, Safety, arriving
in Virginia in the fall. That he first married an Ann and then a
Sussan Garnett and became the father
of two known sons, Robert and John of Gloucester and later Essex
County, Virginia.

I91970637_Here is a website
suggesting that another possibility is that our Richard Foster
migrated from White Church, Hampshire,
England about 100 years after the known Richard (1619) came to
Virginia. I need to do more
research in England....glf

WEBSITE: This website
says that Richard Foster (immigrant ancestor had a father in England
and a brother (Thomas Foster) in
Virginia. See http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/f/o/s/Richard-Foster-VA/BOOK-0001/0003-0001.html

MISC_NOTES: I have
researched all the birth, marriage, death, poor people, land owners,
moving into and out of Whitchurch,
Hampshire, England from 1600 to 1800 and find no evidence of my
Richard born in 1723 of coming from this
area. There was a John Foster who had 7 children all christened in
the local church at Whitchurch. I no
longer believe my Richard was born here. I will concentrate my
efforts now in Colonial Gloucester County,
Virginia. glf

MISC_NOTES: Lived 72 years.

MISC_NOTES: Robert L.
Jackson says that the father of Richard Foster (1723) is Robert
Foster(1660-1670) son of Richard Foster
(1619) (the immigrant ancestor). I would like to believe this
version but Robert Foster is possibly too
old (53 to 63) to father Richard in 1723 and some researchers say
Richard Foster was born in White
Church, Hampshire, England? It is also suggested that Richard's
wife, Susannah Rand was age 5 to 10
when she married and that she waited 15 more years before starting
to bear children? Something is
wrong with the marriage date. Also, note the difference of 6 years
between 1st son Beverly Ransom Foster
and next son, Peter G. Foster. Are we missing some children? glf

MISC_NOTES: Gary Foster
(2001) I need to see if I can prove the possiblility that the
Richard Foster, 1723 born in White Church,
Hampshire, England ties into this Thomas Foster from the same place
in England. As of (15 August
2005) having just viewed many microfilms at the Family History
Library in Salt Lake City, Utah
concerning all Foster's that could be found in WhitChurch,
Hampshire, England it is my conclusion that I cannot
find any proof of Foster's living in, moving out, being christened,
married, died, buried or being of the
poor folks. It almost appears that only a few Foster's ever lived
here and those names are recorded in
the "Research Project" for Richard Foster & Susannah Rand on my
website at http://foster.surnames.com/foster_research_project/research_source_checklist_richard_foster_&_susannah_rand.htm

Richard married Susannah
RAND-RANSOME about 1747 in , Isle of Wight, Virginia, USA. Susannah
was born about 1723 in , Isle of Wight, Virginia, USA. She died before
26 Nov 1794 in , Surry, Virginia, USA.

(As of 1 June 2006 we are still
not sure if Susannah was a RAND or a RANSOME.) glf

here says that due to all the
times the name RANSOM is used by both of the sons--Ransom and Peter,
I believe that this woman was
NOT a Rand. The name RAND does not appear anywhere in the pedigree.

With Southern naming patterns
using the surnames of the women--sometimes for many generations, where are the RANDs? No one
has yet been able to produce a document of any sort which would connect a Susannah RAND to a
Richard FOSTER. (27 Jun 2001)

DEATH: Not mentioned in
Richard Foster's will, presumably Susannah was dead by the time the
will was drawn up, as was the
daughter (Elizabeth Foster) who bore Susannah Ransome Clark, the
granddaughter mentioned in the
will.

living here at the time. Our Peter Garnett Foster was born 22 Mar
1757 and died 31 Dec 1819 and lived in
Ware Parish, Gloucester County, Virginia. He and his wife Ann Hall
gave birth to 3 sons and 5
daughters. The first three children were born in Gloucester County,
Richard was

born in
Matthews County and the last 4 children were born in Franklin, North

Alexander Conyers, Earl of
Duncan, had a daughter named????._She married _____Fo(r)ster. Their son, Thomas Foster, had a son
Richard. Richard had a son, John. John had 3 sons who came to VA
and settled: Joel Foster who
settled on the North River in Matthews County, VA, Harold Foster who
settled in Brunswick County,VA,
and Richard Foster (grandfather of Sussanah Ransome Foster) b: abt 1703, married Sussanah Rand

Note: if the above is true
then the Foster Family connection to Richard Forster / Foster b.

Sussanah and Richard Foster
had two sons: Peter (m. Ann Hall) and Richard (m. Elizabeth Jordan
Hall). The women were sisters and
daughters of Robert Hall and Nancy Johnston who had eloped from
England and settled in VA. Peter and Ann were the Parents
of Susannah Ransome. From this information, I believe William Harold
Foster's parents were Richard
Foster and Elizabeth Jordan. I have not confirmed this information
but it came from a good
source. Eventually these families go through Franklin County, NC.

Also, I
believe William Harold Foster's parents were not Richard Foster &
Elizabeth Jordan but
were Beverly Ransome Foster
and Elizabeth Coman. That still makes William Harold Foster and
Susannah Ransome Foster 1st
cousins. Peter G. Foster had two brothers, Beverly Ransome Foster

SOURCES: The Governor's
Island: Gwynn's Island, Virginia During The Revolution by Peter
Jennings Wrike (1993)_Hardcover, 166
pp._$19.95_$1.00 Sales Tax for VA residents__In 1776 the Royal Governors of Virginia and
Maryland, with an armada of over 100 British warships, troop
transports, supply ships and refugee
vessels anchored off Gwynn's Island, Virginia. For almost two months
the two governors, British troops,
marines, armed sailors, loyalist regiments, and the African-American
Royal Ethiopian Regiment confronted
patriot forces. The island became the Governors' Island. This lively
book details the campaign by
Virginia's Lord Dunmore and his British allies on the Chesapeake Bay
in 1775 and 1776. Dunmore led
military, naval and civilian forces of almost 3,000 persons from
Williamsburg to Yorktown, Norfolk, Portsmouth,
Gwynn's Island and eventually Maryland. Dunmore's forces threatened the Bay's commerce and its
inhabitants' freedom. British reinforcements of men and arms gave
Dunmore the capability to
subdue Virginia and other colonies. American patriots opposed
Dunmore and waited for the right
circumstances to attack. The book is well researched with maps of
the area in 1776, British and American
fortifications, ship illustrations and battle diagrams. British,
Loyalist and American units and participants are
contained in detailed appendices. A comprehensive bibliography,
endnotes and an index complete this
scholarly and readable story.

DEATH:
Died at age 27. Was a Revolutionary War Soldier.

Richard, and William Foster.

WEBSITE: See Website for more
information: (4 October 2005)
http://www.geocities.com/~pamreid/hos2.html

BIOGRAPHY: Robert Foster
emigrated from Amelia County, Va. in 1783, and settled on the waters
of

Tyger River within the present
territory of Spartanburg County. His wife was Miss Sallie James. He
had seven sons, viz: Thomas,
Robert, William, John, James, Ransom, and Moses. Thomas and Robert were residents of Greenville
County , and died in that county. William lived and died near
Bethlehem church in Spartanburg County.
He married Miss Exie Wingo. James married Patience Benson, daughter of Wm. Benson, whose wife was
Eleanor Key. He lived near the historic Fort Prince, and he and his
wife are buried near by. Mr. Benson
died away from home on one of his market trips. Ransom was a soldier
in the war of 1812. He married
a Miss Tanner. Moses died in Spartanburg County and his family
removed to Alabama. He and
Ransom were twins.

BIOGRAPHY: Among the children
of Thomas Foster mentioned was Jesse Foster, father of Major A. J.

and Jesse Foster. The former
served as major of the Lower Battalion, 36th Regiment, S. C. M. (5),

before the war, and later,
during said war, as captain of Co. B, 22nd S. C. V.

BIOGRAPHY: Among the children
of William and Exie (Wingo) Foster was Colonel Robert W. Foster ,

who resided near Holly Spring,
who was a man of more than ordinary intelligence and information,
and

who from 1848 to '50 was a
representative from Spartanburg District in the State legislature,
and was also for several years colonel
of the 36th Regiment, S. C. M.

BIOGRAPHY: Among the children
of James Foster was Eleanor*, who married Andy Foster and

removed to Georgia, where he
died in 1897; Jane, who married Zachariah Wingo and removed to

Georgia, settling on the
Chattahoochee river, Forsyth County, where he died; Eliza, who
married Albert

Cunningham; Abner B., who
married Oney Foster, a daughter of "Mill Creek" Billy Foster; Mary,
who

married Thomas A. Rogers, both
lived and died in Pickens County, SC; Robert J., who married Polly
A.

Bowden ; James J., who married
Mary, daughter of Garland Foster, and was killed near Petersburg,
March 29th, 1865; Thersa, who
married George F. Steading, killed in the army; and Moses, who
married Mrs. Brewton, who was Miss
Sarah Alexander.

BIOGRAPHY: The last named,
Captain Moses Foster, is well and popularly known to the people of Spartanburg County. He was
born January, 1833 and was raised on his father's farm near
Bethlehem church. He was educated in the
schools of his neighborhood taught by Thomas Scruggs, Wm. Casper,
Elias Stephens, Hampton Posey
and others. He connected himself with Bethlehem church early in life
and has been a deacon of said
church since 1866; is a useful man in his church and community both
by precept and example. He has
very often been a delegate from his church to the associations to
which it has belonged, and is an
earnest advocate and contributor to all the benevolent objects which
come before it.

BIOGRAPHY: Before the civil
war between the states he was commissioned by the Governor of South Carolina a captain of the
militia (May's old field), the company which he commanded being a
part of the 36th Regiment, S. C. M. He
served seven years as a commissioned officer, which, under the law,
made him muster free, but at the
outbreak of said war (or even a few months before) he volunteered in
the Spartan Rifles under Captain
Joseph Walker, which was one of the first companies to leave
Spartanburg for the army. While serving in
Virginia he was transferred (1862) to Co. D, Palmetto Sharpshooters,
commanded by Captain A. H.
Foster. In both of these companies he held the position of sergeant.
He was in nearly all the battles
in which his company was engaged. Was always at his post except when
prevented by sickness, and was
at the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse.

BIOGRAPHY: After this he
returned to his farm, where he has lived for sixty years or more. He
has never aspired to public
office, but, by reason of his fitness for the position, was
nominated and elected by the Democrats of
Spartanburg County as coroner for said county, which position he
held for four years.

BIOGRAPHY: By his marriage,
referred to, he has three children; James Alexander, married Miss
Emma, daughter of Virgil Rogers;
John G. Landrum, single, and Mary Patience, single - a graduate of
Limestone College.

BIOGRAPHY: Richard Foster, a
first cousin of Robert Foster, emigrated from Virginia to
Spartanburg District and settled in the
Bethlehem neighborhood about the time that Robert came. He was
married four times. Among his children
were Spencer B. Foster, who was a deacon and prominent member of
Bethlehem church. He was also
captain of a militia company before the civil war and was for a time
the captain of the old Tyger band
which belonged to the 36th Regiment, S. C. M., his favorite
instrument being the clarinet, which the
writer, in his boyhood, delighted to hear him play. He was the
father of Richard and Martin Foster; the
former losing an arm at the battle of Frazier's Farm, Virginia.

William Foster, "Mill Creek
Billy," first cousin to the first two, also from Amelia County, VA,
lived on Fair

Forest Creek. He had nine
children, viz: Moses, who married Polly Hurt; Ransom, who married a

daughter of Robert Foster in
Greenville County (uncle of Captain Moses Foster); John; Jinsey, who

married Jesse Wingo, father of
Wm. J. Wingo, a well known merchant who died in Spartanburg in 1895

or '96; Maiden who married
Paschal Wingo, father of Rev. I. W. Wingo; Deliah, who married
Burrell

Wingo, father of Robert Wingo
and grandfather of Hon. John O. Wingo, Greenville County, SC, and

Stewart Wingo, Merchant at
Spartanburg; Oney, who married Abner B. Foster, Annie, who married

Isham Hart; and Malinda, who
married Asa Cunningham.

BIOGRAPHY: The entire families
of the Foster connection in Spartanburg County have always been distinguished for their piety
and high order of law abiding citizenship. No where have any people
been found more patriotic, true and
loyal to their county's best interest than the worthy sons which
belonged to these families. No brighter
example can be produced as an evidence of this fact that the case of
Joseph Foster, son of Moses
and Polly Hart Foster. in one of the battles in Virginia, during the
civil war, he was shot through the head
with a mini ball. The ball ranging below the brain entered near the
eyeball and made its exit behind one
ear. His recovery was one of the most remarkable occurrences in the
history of surgery. From this
dreadful wound he recovered in a few months and reentered the
service in Virginia, and had not been

were several others of these families killed and considerable number
wounded during the civil war.

http://www.geocities.com/~pamreid/bib_rec.html by Pam Reid Foster-Barnett Bible
Description This Bible has been in the
possession of my family for a very long time. It belonged to my
great-aunt Myrtle Foster Reid. She gave
it to my mother and my mother passed it along to me. It was really
this Bible that first got me
interested in Genealogy. The Bible lists family records for William
"Mill Creek Billy" Foster and his wife and
children. It also lists records for Joseph Barnett, his wife, Lucy
Wade and their children. There are also
records for Micajah Barnett, son of Joseph and Lucy, his wife and
their children.

No one in my family knew who
the Barnetts were. We had no knowledge of any connection with the Barnett family. So, I began a
mission to find out who they were and why their records were in my
Foster Family Bible. __It wasn’t very
difficult to find Barnett ancestors of Joseph Barnett. However, the
mystery wasn’t solved, as they
had no information linking our two families. The information about
the Barnetts that is contained in
the Bible was very exciting to the Barnett researchers, since this
was the first source they had found
for actual birth dates of some of the earlier Barnetts. Of course,
they were also anxious to figure out why
records for the two families are contained within the same Bible. As
of yet, we haven’t been able to do
this. If any of you have information that would help us solve this
mystery, please get in touch with me
<mailto:pamreid@dc.jones.com> . We really want to how these families intertwine. __A little about
the Bible: The bible is in very poor condition. It is actually
falling apart and is coming unbound. Many of the
pages are crumbling. __The bible appears to me to have been rebound
at some point in time. This
rebinding appears to have been a "homemade" job. The pieces of
cardboard that form the front and back
covers have scribbling on them and are covered with thin pieces of
leather sewn into place with heavy
thread. The old and new testaments appear to have come from two
different bibles. As indicated from the
copies of the old and new testament fly leaf pages, these two bibles
have different publishers and
different publication dates. Since the flyleaf page for the new
testament is loose, it is possible that the page
is from an entirely different bible. However, the styles of print
and language used in the old and in the new
testaments are completely different. This would indicate that two
separate bibles were bound together.
__Most of the Foster pages have come loose, but at least one is
still attached to the Bible. Both of
the Barnett pages are still attached. The only writing in the bible
other than the family records recorded on
the blank pages is the name "Malinda Foster" written on the top of
one of the Genesis pages.

Description: Brig. Gen. John
S. Marmaduke’s expedition into Missouri reached Ozark, where it

destroyed the Union post, and
then approached Springfield on the morning of January 8, 1863.

Springfield was an important
Federal communications center and supply depot so the Rebels wished
to

destroy it. The Union army had
constructed fortifications to defend the town. Their ranks, however,
were

depleted because Francis J.
Herron’s two divisions had not yet returned from their victory at
Prairie

Grove on December 7. After
receiving a report on January 7 of the Rebels’ approach, Brig. Gen.
Egbert

B. Brown set about preparing
for the attack and rounding up additional troops. Around 10:00 am,
the

Confederates advanced in
battle line to the attack. The day included desperate fighting with
attacks and

counterattacks until after
dark, but the Federal troops held and the Rebels withdrew during the
night.

Brown had been wounded during
the day. The Confederates appeared in force the next morning but

retired without attacking. The
Federal depot was successfully defended, and Union strength in the
area

continued.

Result(s): Union victory,
although the raid ultimately failed.
